No, not really; very few things you could do would cause the system to
freeze.
Okay, so something is wrong. Troubleshooting it tends to be hard;
however, you are experiencing lock-ups, not crashes. Perhaps the box
simply gets too hot? Most modern systems have sensors, which can usually
be seen via hw.sensors, or at least the BIOS screen. Simply cleaning out
the mess tends to help here.
